Lansdowne

Lansdowne is just a perfect destination to relax and unwind from our hectic routine. The roads from Kotdwar to Lansdowne are awesome, loved driving on them surrounded by deodar and pine trees. – Paras Sood

With panoramic vistas of unspoilt nature, the fresh and bracing mountain air and spectacular views of the snow-covered Himalayas, Lansdowne is the place of the dreams of mountain lovers.

Surrounded by the awe inspiring Himalayas and the naturally blessed Uttaranchal Hills, Jaiharikhal (just 4 kms from Lansdowne) is the ideal place to relax, unwind and rejuvenate.

Appealing to anyone trying to get away from the crowded city, Lansdowne is most beloved to eco-tourists and nature worshippers who come down here to be off the beaten path. With many options for nature walks, hikes and drives Jaiharikhal (and nearby Lansdowne) provide a unique experience for its visitors.
